“As Bob is my witless”
That has nothing to do with anything, really — I was watching the Rugrats with my sister.
The other day I overheard someone say “What this one has is no hinge” (about a turtle, or a tortoise, or something, compared with a sea turtle that had one). I’m quite sure I’ve heard things like that before, too.
But since I could be (a) going to the beach or (b) considering negation in pseudoclefts, and since I have so far been very successful at not thinking at all about work while I’m here (I didn’t bring anything down with me. I don’t feel guilty. I am so proud[1]) I will choose (a) and just chlk the examples up to word play and/or nervousness.
Merry Christmas. Happy Chanukah. Happy New Year. Enjoy time off with loved ones.
